Counter-Strike legend praises CS2’s matchmaking changes, hopes Valve adds features from Dota 2
The Counter-Strike community is often hesitant about any changes. But this time, most of the player base—including longtime veterans like Wiktor “TaZ” Wojtas—enjoyed the matchmaking updates Valve shipped to the CS2 beta on Aug. 31.
From now on, CS2 players will be put in a separate skill group for each map, meaning they can be Global Elite on Mirage but just Master Guardian on Nuke, for example. Players will also rack up points to compete in a global leaderboard, regional leaderboard, and even friends leaderboard.
